The last part of your point is precisely where the trouble begins...

I'd like to come dig them up if at all possible. I will incubate the eggs and hatch them out then release them in a specific pond out here.

There was a big ass nest laid Thursday night by a sea turtle at our beach house.

12 eggs laid. They had to come reloacate them because they were not far enough into the dunes and we had a king tide last night.

The path left in the sand was largest I have seen. Must have been a big old turtle.

Yeah, they mark them so they can make turtle omelets when the gringos aren't watching.

About three months, depending on temperature. Temperature also determines ratio of males to females.
